'White Lies' by Zoe Markham is a suspenseful and emotionally charged Young Adult (YA) Thriller novel that explores the power of a little white lie. Set in a boarding school and a fictional town with an unspoken sense of unease, Abby Spencer, a newcomer to the school, finds herself engulfed in a dangerous game of thrones as she falls deeper and deeper into a web of secrets and distrust.
With her parent's serving in the military and her younger sister too far away, the mere change from a disciplined military to a school means a big deal for her. But more importantly, as a shy outcast she longs to fit-in and suddenly even more so when a stormy first day gives her a chance to shine among the favored popular crowd. Even so, things get downright creepy when tensions explode and love, lust, betrayal, and deception set a wickedly seductive dance.
Perpetually haunted by a traumatic event of her own, Abbie starts to know firsthand what it feels like to live a lie, when a shocking turn of events turns her world upside-down. In her search to seek revelations she loses precious time until it's too late and the truth comes floating to light. Albeit, not all truths can be unbound and some may cause more sorrow.
